The Pennsylvania Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Phi Epsilon was founded at Lehigh University on September 17, 1907.  The original house was located on 704 Dakota Street in Bethlehem, PA and later moved to 61 W. Market Street, Bethlehem, PA.  In 1963, the SigEp moved into a house built for them on the Lehigh Campus in Sayre Park (commonly referred to as “The Hill”).

In 1991, Pennsylvania Epsilon had it’s charter revoked by the national fraternity, not due to any particular incident, but instead for a general decline in chapter standards (oops!).  SigEp re-colonized at Lehigh in 1994, moved back into their house on “The Hill” in 1995 and was re-charted on November 16, 1996 as a Balanced Man Chapter(whoo hoo!).  The chapter celebrated it’s centennial anniversary at Lehigh University  with a Gala Celebration to benefit SigEp’s national charity YouthAids on September 29, 2007.

 

Lehigh’s SigEp stands out and strives to be the best because all of our brothers live up to our house vision. Our brothers are defined by our commitment to academic success, personal achievement, community involvement, and fraternal endeavors. Sigma Phi Epsilon is a place where good men enter and better men leave.
